A former aide to a New York City Council member says the lawmaker and a senior member of his staff subjected him to cruel bullying that included decapitating the stuffed animals on his desk.
Michael Bistreich has Asperger syndrome . He filed a $10 million lawsuit against Brooklyn City Councilman Vincent Gentile on Tuesday.
Bistreich says in the lawsuit that on one occasion, he was locked in a basement.
On another, someone beheaded the stuffed animals on his desk.
One bear’s head was mounted on a small flagpole.
Bistreich was Gentile’s legislative and budgetary director. The Brooklyn politician didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.
The city Law Department says the complaint is under review.
